The Most Devastating Final Words Actors Said To Their Co-Stars

An entertainer of the highest order, Bob Hope seemingly did it all during his 100 years of life. A former boxer, singer, author, and 19-time host of the Academy Awards, Hope was best known as an actor and comedian thanks to his 70-plus film credits and famous USO tours dating back to World War II. His signature self-deprecating humor made him a star for nearly 80 years, and he kept on joking through his later years, saying (via BBC), "I'm so old, they've canceled my blood type."

Hope died two months after his 100^th birthday, in July 2003. He was deeply mourned by his wife, Dolores Hope, who spent much of her singing career performing alongside her husband on stage, tours, and film. Astonishingly, the pair were married for 69 years before Bob Hope's passing, and despite plenty of rumors of infidelity, remained happily together through four children. The couple's grandson, Zach Hope, stated that it was "laughter to the end" during an interview on CNN. And he was a comedian all the way to his final moments. One of the last things Bob Hope said to his wife and family upon being asked where he wished to be buried was, "Surprise me."
